Seems to be missing the extra dash curved reinforcements, and i didnt know travellers had extra strength sills? :s and traveller chassis? :s I'm not denying this guy if he knows his stuff, was just wondering if anyone else is confused and or could explain this...

Yes, no A pillar-dash supports isn't right and the missing boot surround panel is a worry as only the bottom section is available.

Would need a very good panel fabricator to make up new sections there!
Cheers John - all comments IMHO

Oh, I get it. It's a Trav shell, cut off the roof, graft on a convertible screen top and then drop the outer skin of the rear body on top. Was a white Trav and a red convertible, by the looks of it.

"two cars welded together" , ''three actually Ron"

Seriously though that is not the way to make a converted convertible, one should start from a 2-door saloon.

I thought the red colour was just different shades of red oxide primer, not evidence of one car stuck to another ! :o

It does have the B post strengtheners. How about the chassis no? Could have a choise.
